The Daily Caller reports along with The Daily Wire that television network One America News Network (OANN) has officially issued a “cease-and-desist retraction letters to both The Daily Beast and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

The letters, which were sent last Thursday, allege that Maddow and The Daily Beast’s Kevin Poulson alike defamed OANN by linking the network to the Russian government and, in the case of Maddow, decrying the network as ‘literally … Russian propaganda.’

According to the Wire, “The involvement of a prominent conservative media outlet in a defamation dispute against other media personalities provides a good opportunity to delve into the state of defamation law in the United States.

Specifically, it is important to understand why a hypothetical defamation lawsuit filed by OANN would face an uphill battle under existing U.S. Supreme Court precedent — but why that might not be the case (perhaps especially as applied to Maddow) under an originalist understanding of the First Amendment.”

Daily Caller reports: One America News Network (OANN) demanded retractions from MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and The Daily Beast’s Kevin Poulsen after both suggested links between the network and Russian propaganda.

Poulsen wrote an article stating OANN’s Kristian Rouz is a “Russian national on the payroll of the Kremlin’s official propaganda outlet, Sputnik.” That same day, Maddow said on “The Rachel Maddow Show” that OANN “really, literally is Russian propaganda.”

The 2020 Trump re-election campaign absolutely nuked far-left Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), better known as “The Squad,” on Friday with a brutal video that highlights many of the recent comments they have made that have sparked national outrage. The video also brands them as the face of the Democratic Party.

The video kicks off by showcasing President Trump at his latest rally truthfully stating that Omar pleaded for compassion for Somalian men who were convicted of trying to join ISIS. Trump then hit Omar for saying that “ignorance is very pervasive in this country.” The video is very well done – it shows each of these women making their actual statements and the news coverage of the underlying incident. Ouch.

Next up was Rashida Tlaib. The video recalls her history of using foul language as an elected official and a video showing her meltdown at a Trump campaign event in 2016. It correctly portrays her as radical and unhinged. Not a good look for any politico.

From The Daily Wire:

“Trump then called out Pressley for deeply controversial remarks she made at a recent event, where she said: “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.”

“The final person the video takes aim at is Ocasio-Cortez, who has been the face of the far-Left ever since she won her primary race last summer in New York’s 14th Congressional District.

“Trump highlighted Ocasio-Cortez’s wild claim that illegal aliens are more American than are U.S. citizens who believe in enforcing border security and immigration laws.

“That line from Ocasio-Cortez replays several times, with digital and audio effects added each time to highlight the fringe nature of Ocasio-Cortez’s policy positions.”

Ocasio-Cortez was saved for last as she has the most pull as a politician. She’s also the leader of “The Squad.” She’s the Marxist-in-Chief. They have gone to war against Trump and the Republican Party and have bitten off far more than they can chew here.

The ‘Trump War Room’ Twitter account, an official campaign vehicle, released the super-cut of radical actions surrounding “The Squad.” “Is there any doubt who is calling the shots for the Democrats, including their candidates for president?” it asks.

The video closes with sinister, slowed-down footage of Ocasio-Cortez on the day she was sworn in, comparing her ‘Green New Deal’ environmental program to the ambitious government agendas of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Actually, it was mocking the deal and AOC. “I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country,” she told CNN’s ‘Anderson Cooper’ that night. “Yeah, if that’s what radical means, call me a radical.” And we will. Trump has recently begun calling “The Squad” by another name: “AOC plus three.” Because after all, she’s the leader taking the Democrats over the proverbial political cliff.

Republicans are generally aiming to cast “The Squad” as an unhinged team of liberals who function as the Democratic Party’s unofficial leaders, hoping the association will alienate moderate voters in states Trump needs to win next year. And it will – these women are very unpopular with Americans. They will win Trump a second term… I have no doubt about that in the least.
